An e-mail:

“We’re not going all out today, figuring most of you are either off for the holiday or rushing through work so you can get out of the office.”
Sounds like a blue state sentiment. Out here in the heartland, nobody is off but government workers and teachers.

Actually, I got more hate mail about my New Hampshire throwaway line (as I was throwing away a map) Saturday…I promise to make a red-state pilgrimmage soon.
